Obama's record isn't that distinguished

A recent letter writer gushed about Barack Obama, insisting that Obama's visage be etched into Mount Rushmore as permanent testimony to his stunning greatness. Well, no.

This president has presided over the greatest destruction in wealth since the Great Depression. So many folks have been out of work for so long that they have simply quit looking for a job. Obama's government has expanded at an unprecedented rate and our national debt has risen more in four years of Obama than an entire eight with George Bush. Moreover, five terror plots have been executed since 9/11, and all of them have been during Barack Obama's watch. Yet, the Obama worshippers are putting on a brave face.

Perhaps a more fitting tribute to this president would be to print his portrait on food stamps. After all, more Americans are now on public assistance than at any time in history. That's because more Americans are living below the poverty line than at any time since records for that began in 1959.
